That is what dog owners claim! They harass people in "self defense"!

My town is debating a new offleash policy. Reading your comments, I’ve shifted from offleash in parks only to offleash in most public areas.

I genuinely wonder if I could train an LLM to comment on local news stories with a similar strain of hysterical hyperbole, because it clearly works to portray folks who want dogs on leashes more of the time as nutters.

Like dog owners respect leash laws or anything. Shiting on private property is also forbiden. Dog owners will shit on your front yard just for talking to them, and even organize harassment campaign on social media, to get more owners to shit on your front yard!

What you will do next? Shit on grocery store or restaurant? Already happened!

Thanks to people like that we need more cameras everywhere!

I don’t own a dog. But I did just flash these comments in a town forum. (At the very least they got a laugh.) If this represents the mood of folks who want restrictive leash laws, they should be repealed.
